  1. Not sure what you mean by court line so I'm going to give the dimensions of the court from the FIVB rulebook as well as giving you the American measurements rounded since the FIVB is International and uses the metric system. All levels of play use the same dimensions (except net height).

    Rule 1.1 states:

    "DIMENSIONS

    The playing court is a rectangle measuring 18 (60 ft) x 9 m (30 ft), surrounded by a free zone which is a minimum of 3 m (10 ft) wide on all sides.

    The free playing space is the space above the playing area which is free from any obstructions. The free playing space shall measure a minimum of 7 m (23 ft) in height from the playing surface.

    For FIVB World and Official Competitions, the free zone shall measure a minimum of 5 m (16 ft)  from the sidelines and 8 m (26 ft) from the end lines. The free playing space shall measure a minimum of 12.5 m (41 ft) in height from the playing surface."

    Boundary Lines, Rule 1.3 states:

    "LINES ON THE COURT

    1.3.1 All lines are 5 cm (2 inches) wide. They must be of a light color which is different from the color of the floor and from any other lines.

    1.3.2 Boundary lines

    Two sidelines and two end lines mark the playing court. Both sidelines and end lines are drawn inside the dimensions of the playing court.

    1.3.3 Center line

    The axis of the center line divides the playing court into two equal courts measuring 9 x 9 m (30 x 30 ft) each; however the entire width of the line is considered to belong to both courts equally. This line extends beneath the net from sideline to sideline.

    1.3.4 Attack line

    On each court, an attack line, whose rear edge is drawn 3 m (10 ft) back from the axis of the center line, marks the front zone.

    Rule 1.4.2 states:

    "Service zone

    The service zone is a 9 m (30 ft) wide area behind each end line.

    It is laterally limited by two short lines, each 15 cm (6 in) long, drawn 20 cm (8 in) behind the end line as an extension of the sidelines. Both short lines are included in the width of the service zone.

    In depth, the service zone extends to the end of the free zone."

    I hope that helps, it's very detailed, but you can probably find the information you need in there somewhere.


  2. The entire volleyball court measure 60ft x 30 ft. The center line being at 30 ft. So the answet to your question is that the court line is 30 ft from the center, with the "attack line" being 10 ft from the center.

  3. i think its ten feet

  4. Each side of the court is a 30' by 30' square, with an attack line 10 feet from the net

  5. The end line is 30ft (9m) from the centre line, and the "attack line" is 10ft (3m) from the centre line.
